We all know that walking does our body some good. But what some of you may not know is, walking is good for the mind also. Here, I wanted to list some of the benefits that walking has.
1. Good Exercise - Well, I know this one is stupid to list but of course walking is good exercise but what makes it such a great exercise is, you don't have to work so hard at doing it. You can feel relaxed and keep your body in shape. It takes a lot longer for us to sweat when we're walking oppose to running or doing some other strenuous exercise. You can walk to and from just about anywhere without even having to sign up for a gym membership. Walking keeps your body fit and your wallet happy!
2. It Keeps You in a Good Mindset - When we take walks, even if it's a short walk, it can really help to relieve our mind after a stressful day. I have tried it for myself and it helped me feel more at ease as I felt the cool breeze brush past my face and admire the beautiful trees and flowers that I walked by. When I'm walking on beautiful, warm sunny days I began to drink up life's most beautiful moments. I usually like to listen to nice, soothing music as I'm walking. I feel like when you're walking, you're not only burning off some calories or shedding a few pounds but you are also walking off some stress too. Keeping yourself locked up in a house will keep you depressed, but if you get outdoors and get fresh air I believe you have a better shot of feeling better.
3. It's a Good Way to Connect with Others - I hear about a lot of couples who say they take walks together. I feel like there must be some sort of specialness for them that makes them want to take walks together. I believe walking creates a great atmosphere for great conversations. While you're walking you feel relaxed and have the nice fresh air to enjoy, which helps open up your mind by having nice surroundings. It's not just a way for couples to connect but child and a parent, sisters, friends. I feel like it's easier perhaps to open up to someone in quieter settings and even moving can help ease up the nerves, (especially if you're talking about a serious matter). Walks can help create a more peacefulness amongst the people talking.
Walking is really peaceful, relaxing and fun to me. Do you enjoy walking? Tell me about some of the benefits that walking has for you. It was really nice writing this blog. I hope you guys may find this blog helpful in anyway and I hope it was enjoyable to read also! Until next time...
